Happy Easter and other happenings of the week

Happy Easter to everyone. I shared this on other postings but wanted to add it here as well. This is a portion of one of my favorite hymns.

'Up from the grave He arose
with a mighty triumph over His foes
He arose the Victor from the dark domain
and He lives forever with His saints to Reign.
He arose
He arose
Hallelujah Christ AROSE!!

I volunteer for several groups that Honor our Armed Forces. One of these groups have been having alot of leadership problems and has lost membership and cooperation from other groups. We had an emergency meeting due to this and other issues and had to release the president from her duties and membership in the group. We also were advised to vote new Officers into place until nominations and general election in May. I am temporary President. But, have been told in May I will probably be voted permanent because past and current members and other organizations respect me and will be willing to all work together. We had lost focus on this because so many other organizations could not work with her.
When strangers come together, for any reason, there are those that can work together and enjoy each other and then those that after awhile you realize under any other circumstance you would not be associated.
I have worked on political campaigns, with Veterans groups and other organizations always as the worker bee. I have never been thrown into the spotlight of Leadership. I was talking to the President of MarineMoms and she said she was the same way. She gave me extremely good advice. She said to rely on God for guidance and learn to delegate so that others feel they are just as important as anyone else. So I am going to strongly rely on Him and others to continue our work for our Armed Forces. I would extremely appreciate any prayers for all of us.

Friends of mine have been going to the Haygoods Opening Season of shows. It has been absolutely hilarious the phone calls we have been doing to each other for the celebrations for them and other Branson happenings. HAHA Several went to Waxys to hear Dirty Old Towne and thoroughly enjoyed all the 'jiggin'. I am so jealous of all of them for having such a marvelous time without me. HAHA But, Joanna and I will be there in June. We are already getting exciting and can't wait to have some F-U-N-!!

Friday and Saturday night we spent with a 'Welcome Home' of 20 Marines returning from Iraq for home. There were plenty of hugs, handshakes and tears by all. The PGR and other groups worked together to escort them to a brief ceremony with their family. It was a MARVELOUS time for all. One of the Marines asked me what they could to thank us. I told him 'You already have...that is why we are here.' Thank God for our Military.

Ohhh Raahh and Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaw everyone.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW
